Australian Grand Prix 2019: F1 schedule, UK times and how to watch in China

F1 is back. The 2019 season gets underway in Melbourne this weekend, with the Australian Grand Prix. Here’s our guide on how to catch the action, including channels and UK times for practice races, qualifying and, of course, the main event.

With everything taking place in the early hours, we’d recommend stocking up on coffee and plenty of comfort food so you don’t miss reigning champion Lewis Hamilton battle it out with last year’s Australian GP winner Sebastian Vettel. It should all be rather exciting.

The Brit came out on top in both Practice One and Practice Two, trailed by Vettel in the first session, and Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in the second.
